Definitions

  • the invention relates to a mannequin in accordance with the preamble of claim 1 .
  • This type of mannequin (also called doll, display dummy, etc.) is designed to present or respectively photograph at least one article of clothing appropriately draped on the mannequin, wherein the mannequin is based on at least one section of a human body, i.e. the mannequin does not have to represent the entire body of a human. Furthermore, the mannequin has a front side and a back side turned away from the front side, which together define a surface of the mannequin visible from the outside.
  • Mannequins of the initially named type are used in multiple manners for the presentation of items of clothing and accessories in display windows and display cases, at exhibitions and in other media (e.g. Internet, print media).
  • other media e.g. Internet, print media
  • mannequins of the aforementioned type are used in particular in the production of advertising, e.g. for online sale on the Internet or in print media. This requires the creation of sophisticated photos of the respective clothing article.
  • the present invention is thus based on the object of creating a mannequin for presenting or respectively photographing articles of clothing to be advertised, which enables the most efficient process for creating photo material of the respective article of clothing.
  • the mannequin has in the area of a clothing article cutout of a clothing article arranged appropriately on the mannequin at least one in particular continuous cutout (in terms of a recess), e.g. connecting the front side with the back side, such that the back side of the mannequin is not visible in a plan view of the front side of the mannequin along a predefined line of sight (in particular optical axis of a used camera) in the area of at least one cutout, i.e. completely hidden by the front side of the mannequin or respectively by the clothing article so that one can effectively look through or respectively over and past the mannequin in the area of the at least one cutout.
  • a predefined line of sight in particular optical axis of a used camera
  • a clothing article which has a clothing article cutout, e.g. for the neck of a person or for other body parts (t-shirt, shirt, buttoned jacket, turtleneck, pants waistband, taps for sports jackets, etc.) appropriately on the mannequin such that an edge area of the clothing article framing the clothing article cutout lies on an edge area framing the cutout of the mannequin, however the mannequin can no longer be seen in the said plan view since it is now completely hidden by the said clothing article in the area of the cutout.
  • the said clothing article cutouts can also be in particular taps of sport jackets (suit coats) (front edge between the bottom-most button and the hem) or other openings and cuts/cutouts of clothing articles.
  • the invention has the advantage that in a relatively short period of time neutral photos can be created from the plan view of the clothing article defined above, in which the clothing article is shaped by the mannequin lying below it, but the mannequin is not visible at least in the area of the clothing article cutout (in the plan view).
  • the otherwise common time-intensive and cost-intensive post-processing of photos with which e.g. the cutout of a conventional mannequin sticking out of a clothing article cutout is normally digitally removed (retouched) for obtaining a neutral representation of the clothing article (without visible mannequin), can thus be omitted or at least considerably simplified.
  • the front side and the back side (also called front and back wall) of the mannequin each have an outward facing visible outside and an inside facing away from the respective outside, wherein the two insides face each other (the mannequin is thus at least designed partially hollow in sections), and wherein the said at least one cutout is at least designed in particular such that the inside of the back side in the said plan view of the front side of the mannequin is not visible in the area of the at least one cutout, i.e. it is completely hidden by the front side.
  • the part of the cutout allocated to the back side of the mannequin is at least as large in area as the part of the cutout allocated to the front side of the mannequin. This ensures that, in the case of a plan view of the front side of the mannequin, the back side or respectively the inside of the back side of the mannequin is not visible in the area of the cutout.
  • the front side and the back side of the mannequin can naturally be determined randomly, i.e. the front side of the mannequin can be the side of the mannequin that comprises the chest but also the side that comprises the back of the mannequin. The back side is then the respective other side of the mannequin.
  • a plan view of the front side along a predefinable line of sight is understood in particular as a view from a horizontal direction normally to the front side, with respect to an appropriately arranged state of the mannequin, in which the torso of the mannequin and/or its legs substantially extend vertically.
  • the line of sight can also have an incline compared to the perpendicular or respectively horizontal plane.
  • the at least one cutout of the mannequin in an upper area of the thorax (ribcage) of the torso (neck area) is designed so that in particular in the case of a clothing article arranged appropriately on the mannequin, which forms a clothing article cutout for the neck of a person in the area of the thorax, in the case of a plan view of the front side of the mannequin in the area of the thorax or respectively clothing article cutout, the most that is visible is the inside of the clothing article on the back side of the mannequin (if present), but not the mannequin itself.
  • the at least one cutout can have all imaginable contours that can occur for articles of clothing.
  • the at least one cutout can have an edge section (part of the contour), which corresponds with popular shapes in fashion. This hereby involves rounded, curved edge sections, V-shaped edge sections or also in sections straight (linear) edges.
  • the mannequin has a circumferential neck area coming from the torso (mainly based on a human neck area), which frames the at least one cutout of the mannequin, wherein the neck area preferably has a first edge section allocated to the front side and a second edge section connected with it allocated to the back side of the mannequin, which frames the at least one cutout, and wherein in particular the second edge section runs—with respect to an appropriately arranged state of the mannequin—at least in sections below the first edge section along the vertical (drawn downward) so that in particular in the case of a clothing article appropriately arranged on the mannequin that forms a clothing article cutout for the neck of a person in the neck area, in the case of the plan view of the front side of the mannequin diagonally from above in the neck area, the inside of the clothing article (e.g.
  • a turtleneck pullover is visible on the back side of the mannequin (if present), but not the mannequin or respectively its back side itself.
  • An insert is also preferably provided for closing said cutout, which is releasably fixable in the neck area.
  • the mannequin has at least or only one pelvis and, if applicable, two legs extending from it, wherein the at least one cutout is framed by a circumferential pelvis area (parallel to the waist) of the display dummy.
  • the pelvis area preferably thereby has a first edge section allocated to the front side of the display dummy and a second edge section connected with it and allocated to the back side of the display dummy, wherein the two edge sections limit at least one cutout, and wherein in particular the second edge section runs—with respect to an appropriately arranged state of the mannequin—at least in sections below the first edge section along the vertical (drawn downward) so that in particular in the case of a clothing article appropriately arranged on the mannequin, which in the pelvis area forms a clothing article cutout for the pelvis/stomach of a person, in the plan view of the front side of the mannequin from diagonally above in the pelvis area, the inside of the clothing article (e.g.
  • the mannequin has an insert for closing the said cutout, which is releasably fixable on the pelvis area.
  • the at least one cutout is designed in the area of the pelvis of the torso, wherein in particular the at least one cutout narrows in a section on the front and/or back side of the mannequin in the direction towards the thorax, namely in a V-shape, wherein each section can extend up to the area of the stomach of the torso of the mannequin.
  • said cutout in the pelvis area can extend up to two upper thigh areas of two legs coming off the torso in order to be able to realize the effect according to the invention over the largest possible image section downwards.
  • the mannequins according to the invention can thereby have a unisex shape or be mainly based on a masculine or feminine body.
  • a mainly triangular insert is also preferably provided, which is releasably fixed and substantially positive-fitting in the narrowing section of the cutout.
  • Such an insert straightens the V-shaped cutout in the pelvis area and can be used in particular for clothing articles that have more of a straight, horizontally running edge in the pelvis area, other than sports jackets, which have more of a V-shaped clothing article cutout in the pelvis area due to their cut and the buttoning (e.g. tap).
  • the mannequin has at least one insert releasably fixable in the cutout for reducing and/or changing a contour of a cutout in the thorax or respectively neck area, which in turn—together with the at least one cutout or alone—can define a smaller (in terms of area) cutout but can also close the at least one cutout.
  • the mannequin can also have a plurality of inserts for variably reducing and/or changing a contour of said cutouts, wherein a first of these inserts is releasably fixable in the at least one cutout and each further insert on at least one neighboring insert.
  • the at least one cutout can be successively reduced through the fixing of corresponding inserts or respectively its shape can be adjusted for the specified clothing article cutouts.
  • a modular mannequin concept is hereby created in which a plurality of different clothing article cutouts can be (neutrally) photographed in a short period of time with just one mannequin without requiring digital post-processing of the photos to a considerable extent.
  • magnet connections are preferably provided, via which the inserts can be manually and releasably arranged or respectively fixed in a cutout.
  • magnet elements appropriately positioned from the inside of the mannequin can be arranged on the insert and/or the circumjacent front or respectively back side of the mannequin.
  • the mannequin is pivotably mounted on a carrier plate around a vertical axis, wherein the carrier plate has in particular a plurality of rollers (e.g. four rollers) for moving the mannequin, via which the carrier plate can lie on a base (floor). If necessary, the rollers can be locked individually by means of a respectively allocated brake.
  • the carrier plate has in particular a plurality of rollers (e.g. four rollers) for moving the mannequin, via which the carrier plate can lie on a base (floor). If necessary, the rollers can be locked individually by means of a respectively allocated brake.
  • an air movement device e.g. blower, fan, etc.
  • an air movement device is arranged in an interior space of the mannequin defined by the mannequin, which is designed to generate a (variable) air flow flowing out of the at least one cutout. This pushes the corresponding edge areas of the said clothing article cutout outward and thus prevents a contour of the cutout of the mannequin from showing on the clothing article.
  • a further inventive idea relates to an arrangement with a mannequin according to the invention and a clothing article appropriately arranged on it, wherein all clothing articles especially—as described above—are each arranged on the mannequin such that a clothing article cutout is to lie on a corresponding cutout of the mannequin such that in particular in the plan view respectively in the area of the clothing article cutout, the most that is visible is the clothing article, in particular its inside on the back side of the mannequin, but not the mannequin itself.
